The RPPR is intended to address progress for the most recently completed period, at the frequency required or designated by the sponsoring agency. Information, once reported, does not have to be provided again on subsequent reports. The RPPR requests various types of information, regarding: accomplishments, products, participants and other collaborating organizations, impact, changes/problems, budgetary information and outcomes. We estimate that an average of 1,300 reports, with a maximum of 15 hours per report, will be submitted per year.
Attached is a request for emergency review of an information collection request to use a standard OMB form, the Research Performance Progress Report (RPPR) for Commerce awarded research grants. Per the Paperwork Reduction Act regulations, 5 CFR 1320.13, we are making this request in order to begin using the RPPR, to conform to standard federal reporting requirements (2 CFR Section 200.328), which Commerce plans to implement before the closing of our upcoming reporting cycle on January 31, 2018. The development of a standardized RPPR was an initiative of the Research Business Models (RBM) Subcommittee of the Committee on Science (CoS), a Committee of the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC). It was also part of the implementation of the Federal Financial Assistance Management Improvement Act of 1999 (Act) (Pub. L. 106-107). Consistent with the purposes of that Act, the objective of this initiative was to establish a uniform format for reporting performance on Federally-funded research projects. Commerce plans to begin using this form, per the Act and 2 CFR Section 200.328 for all progress reports required for grants awarded by Commerce starting with the reporting cycle ending January 31, 2018.
